These are great core exercises. The ball adds just enough instability to trigger your body to use all of the spinal, shoulder girdle and pelvic stabilizers to maintain balance. Doing each exercise slowly while paying attention to the breath can build core quickly and efficiently. Good job on this choice of core workout! What does it matter if it says how many to do? Do what you can and build up as you go!

3/1/2012 10:32:58 AM Report AbuseI really dislike the slideshow format. Would much rather prefer seeing the exercises on one page, that I could then print out and do. The slides are too time-consuming and then difficult to reproduce for use at home.
